Iron Patriot's Mechanics

Iron Patriot is a 2-cost, 3-power card with a unique ability: "On Reveal: Add a random 4, 5, or 6-Cost card to your hand. If you’re winning here after the next turn, give it -4 Cost."

This ability is straightforward. Iron Patriot adds a high-cost card to your hand, and if you're winning the location he's played in after your next turn, that card's cost is significantly reduced. This allows for powerful late-game plays. However, success hinges on securing a winning position in the target location. Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket & Groot both synergize with and counter this strategy.

Best Iron Patriot Decks

Iron Patriot, like Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, is a versatile 2-cost card adaptable to various decks. He excels in Wiccan-style strategies and hand-generation decks, particularly those featuring Devil Dinosaur.

Wiccan-Style Deck:

This deck leverages Wiccan's energy generation to play high-cost cards efficiently. Iron Patriot provides additional high-cost cards, further amplified by the cost reduction if you control the location. Key cards include Kitty Pryde, Zabu, Hydra Bob (or substitutes), Psylocke, US Agent, Rocket & Groot, Copycat, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Wiccan, Legion, and Alioth. The goal is to overwhelm the opponent with powerful cards in the final turns. Untapped.gg provides a decklist.

Devil Dinosaur Deck:

This nostalgic deck utilizes Iron Patriot alongside Victoria Hand (Spotlight Cache card) to boost Devil Dinosaur's effectiveness. Other key cards include Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob (or substitute), Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, and Wiccan. The strategy focuses on generating a large hand and overwhelming the opponent with high-power cards in the final turn. Untapped.gg provides a decklist.

Is Iron Patriot Worth Buying the Season Pass For?

Iron Patriot is a strong, versatile card, but not game-breaking. While you might slightly regret missing him, numerous 2-cost alternatives exist. However, if you enjoy hand-generation strategies, the Season Pass, including Iron Patriot and other rewards, is a worthwhile investment at $9.99 USD.
